Usage Note

Llamamiento refers to a public or formal appeal or call to action, not a simple phone call (which is llamada). It collocates with verbs like hacer un llamamiento ('to make an appeal') and is common in political and humanitarian contexts. The -miento suffix derives abstract nouns from verbs, so it shares its root with llamar.

Examples

"El gobierno hizo un llamamiento a la calma."

Natural Translation

The government issued an appeal for calm.
